I'm struggling a bit to see the blessing that are about me right now... but I know I have a few things to be thankful for, even in the midst of all that is going on....

First off, I am thankful that my car insurance will cover treatments and income replacement until my lawsuit settlement comes through.

Second I am thankful that the MAster's program I was supposed to start this week has been delayed till next term, meaning I have another four whole months to continue healing!

Third - I am thankful for my patient and loving husband who has been so amazing during these last six months.

So - What things are you thankful for?

Thanks for the post and the question. It's important for me to consider this question, which I do far too infrequently.

I'm thankful that I am alive. My accident was such that the outcome could have easily been otherwise.

I'm thankful for my wife. She was a rock throughout the orderal, and continues to be the love of my life.

I'm thankful for the surgeons who saved my life and repaired me so that I can walk again.

I'm thankful for the doctors, neuropsychologists and therapists who helped my recovery.

I'm thankful for all the true friends who visited me at the hospital and at home, who prayed for me, and gave me hope and inspiration.

I'm thankful for my employer who insisted I recover and heal, and "take my time until I was ready" to return to work.

I'm thankful (no political/Obamacare comments please) for the insurance company that paid my $500,000+ hospital bill.

I'm thankful for my "therapy pug" Keona who brightens each day when I come home.

Mostly, I thank God for all the above.

It's very true... things can always be far worse... I often marvel at the fact I wasn't knocked out when I fell, and I know that God was there, keeping me safe in this broken world....

Thanks be to God for the every day small miracles.
